An own goal saved Barcelona from defeat and Vallecano had to drop the full 3 points at home after playing out a 1-1 draw. Here it is quite clear that Barcelona really benefited from Lejeune's blunder because he failed to block the pass and instead went into his own goal. Actually Vallecano performed very well even though they often received attacks but they managed to repel them. Meanwhile, Barcelona, which really dominated the match, had difficulty scoring even one goal from normal attacks. However, this draw is not good for Barcelona because they will be increasingly behind Girona and Real Madrid.
Rayo Vallecano is always a tough team to beat. Luckily, Barcelona managed to pull off a draw against them in their LaLiga match. Barcelona is not doing so well lately – their attack isn't as fast and dynamic as it should be. It's safe to say Barcelona is going through a rough patch, and if they don't fix things quickly, it looks like they might have a tough season ahead.

In fact, Dew hardly played any role in this WC, which was actually surprising. Except for the Finals so i don't think we could blame anyone for this.
It's true that dew hardly came into play in most WC matches, but it did come into play in the final which is why this debate makes sense. No team deserves to be blamed for unfair pitch conditions.

This sort of unfair crap makes cricket less exciting as a sport(WC 2019 controversy, WC 2023 pitch issue etc) which truly sucks.

Cricket sometimes has unfair stuff happening, and it seems like it won't stop. But here's something good to hear, the 2023 ODI World Cup has broken records for the number of people watching. However, it also broke records the hearts of Indian fans because India didn't win. I felt sad for India, but Australia played really well and deserved to win.

In French Soccer League, PSG vs Monaco team match will start tomorrow. In this match, PSG team has more chances to win. Because PSG team is now in 1st position in the points table. On the other hand, Monaco team is in 3rd position. If Monaco team can perform well in this match, maybe two  I can enjoy the tough fight between the teams. But the PSG team has done very well in the previous matches. I hope that the PSG team will do much better in this match. The PSG team is much stronger than the Monaco team.
This is quite a difficult match for PSG because Monaco's quality is also very good this season and PSG are slightly favored because this match will be played at their home ground.
Personally, I wouldn't dare bet on PSG winning in this match with Odds @ 1.47 for PSG winning. I don't think it's worth the big risk.
This is a match between two teams who are in good form at the moment so it is possible for a lot of goals to occur, I think betting on ver goals in this match is a good option.
Today, psg is facing Monaco in a highly anticipated match. psg hasn't been doing great, losing 4 out of their last 6 games against Monaco in League 1. Monaco seems to have the upper hand because of psg's not-so-good performance recently. However, PSG is playing at home, which gives them a bit of an advantage. While Monaco hasn't had much success in their last 5 away matches, winning only one. But if Monaco wins today, they can close the three-point gap between them and the current champions who have gathered 27 points in 12 games so far. I think both teams will score in today's match.

Let's make this thread alive again, as Bitcoin has pumped to $36,000 once again and getting closer to the 3/4 of the ATH on 2021. ETH is also doing well.
As of typing this, $1900 is its current price and just a few more steps to get back to $2k and I think from there then it's going to be easy to reach the next price points of thousands like $3k on wards as we're about to enter into the bull run.

I am not a fan of Ethereum,  I don't even have the wallet in my device though I installed it in my device before but I uninstalled it back. And in the cryptocurrency ecosystem every active member will know that Ethereum is the second to bitcoin presently but we don't know if there will be a coin that will come and pass it from behind. Because cryptocurrency ecosystem is now a business platform where coins are competing seriously. All are always behind bitcoin. Bitcoin price presently is $37k and is still moving upward.

But the happiest part of it is that non can come close to the king of crypto bitcoin. For Ethereum to hit $1900, that shows it is doing well in the ecosystem. And this is the best time to invest. Why bitcoin is ahead of all the coins is because it creates avenue for people to have bitcoin without stress.
My opinion on Ethereum is that this coin will be the first because its ecosystem is used by large global financial companies. I don’t see any problems for Ethereum in the near future, but Bitcoin has a high energy consumption and its ecosystem is not developing as actively as the Ethereum ecosystem.

Understanding and unlocking the potential of Ethereum isn't too much difficult. It's proven and well-established right now. In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, Ethereum stands out as a pioneer, providing a decentralized platform for smart contracts and DApps. If ETH is set for a significant increase, then other projects in its ecosystem should also perform well.

$BNB the ONLY coin where you can invest in the exchange. This will be a top coin for chinese/international traders. Eventually it will only be 100M supply.
Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. But currently Binanch has been detained by the SEC on various charges. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to anti-money laundering and other related charges and was fined $4.3 billion. Binance CZ offered to settle all lawsuits for $50 million. Binance CZ admitted all wrongdoing and resigned as CEO. Now that a new CEO has been appointed, it is not yet certain how secure he will be to hold the Binance exchange and coins. But I think BNB is very risky investment right now due to various problems.
CZ stepped down so Binance can keep running without facing any problem's. The new CEO and the rest of the team are surely pulling things together. However, this might also be a test to see how many people try to cash in/out. While some make things complicated, smart people make their gains. Buying in fear and selling in greed—could it be that simple? No financial advice though.

The opening match of the T20 series between India and Australia has started today. In today's match, the Indian cricket team won the toss and chose to field first. We saw India's defeat against Australia in the ICC World Cup. So I think this T20 series against Australia is a challenge for the Indian team. I believe India will fight hard against Australia to win this series. However, in today's first match of the T20 series, the bowling of the Indian team is not favorable. The bowlers of the Indian team have so far managed to pick up only 1 wicket with 129 runs in the game in 13.4 overs. Now if the bowlers of the Indian team fail to strengthen the bowling line-up, it will be difficult to expect anything good for the Indian team.
Today Match 1 of T20 series india vs Australia India won the toss and bowled first Australia make a good total 208/3 in 20 overs inglis make 110 runs on 50 balls with 8 sixes and steve smith make a fifty. on other hand Krishna and bishnoi each takes single wicket. inglis and smith partnership of 130 runs help australia to set a good target of 209 runs to india. i think this will be defendable score for Australia to win their 1st match. India need to take a good start in powerplay to win this match
Australia has posted a BIG total on the board, showcasing their prowess as World Champions. On the other hand, this Indian team seems inexperienced, with a rather pathetic start. India's poor fielding in the first innings contributed to the Aussies amassing a massive total. Australia once again demonstrated a brilliant performance. In response, India had a poor start, already losing 2 wickets. Despite losing two openers, India still manages to maintain their Net Run Rate so far.

Real Betis are through last 16 round once again indeed. It has become pretty much a habit for them in the recent years as well. Because they were able to achieve the same success in the previous two seasons too. However in none of them they were able to make it to upper rounds. We will see whether they can do it this time.

But they were really unlucky with draws in both of those seasons at the same time. In the previous season they faced Manchester United in their good times and the Red Devils destroyed them. Before that season they faced Frankfurt which ended up being the champions too.  Grin
Yes it's nothing new when Real Betis can do a good job in the group stages, but once they get past the group stages, in the next rounds they really struggle to go further in the Europa League. I don't know what they can do with this season, maybe they can do better, or they do the same thing as the previous season.
Maybe one of the factors that will make them go further is how the draw will be. Yes, it will be crucial for their journey, because if they get an opponent that is easier on paper, then their chances will also be greater.
A definite force to be reckoned with now in Spain and in Europe. Real Betis is much more consistent than the so-called big clubs. Although they've been performing great in the group stage, they seem to struggle in the knockout stage and fail to progress. Let's hope they continue their good play and get lucky this time around. We're hopeful that this season their opponents give them room for improvement, and they will surely come out victorious.

Actually, Chelsea performance still not stable yet but in last two matches they are stronger team after beating top standings team Tottenham Hotspur and last week before international break out success make favorite team Manchester City get draw. Chelsea on difficult opponent teams for several matches later but they have good started beat Tottenham Hotspur and one points against Manchester City. Net match Newcastle United I don't think difficult opponent team for Chelsea because The Magpies have focus on other important Champion League match few days later after facing Chelsea.

Newcastle United won't loss their opportunity in Champion League and seems they will make rotation against Chelsea to make their effective performance on Champion League match against PSG.

Well they have really performed very well in last two matches and that too against big sides like City and Spurs. They will be very confident right now and secondly they will be having a great boost with Nkunku return who is yet to be 100% fit but is close to return soon. Newcastle is another tough test for them but with the team coordination they are building right now I think they will fight really hard in upcoming match. Newcastle still shouldn't be undermined here because they have a very good squad and it is very tough to get past their defence and yet past their goalkeeper Nick Pope and Chelsea just now have picked their momentum, so it is still hard to say that Chelsea will find it easy against Newcastle.
I think the confidence that Chelsea have when playing big team right is a big win for them, from the previous games the confidence of Chelsea have been everything. Newcastle is a strong team I so much believe in but I don't think playing with Chelsea will be an easy game for Newcastle. The last game Chelsea played with Manchester City has really proved Chelsea is good enough to face any Premier league team, even the game Chelsea played with arsenal is another game to see how Chelsea have improve in their performance this season,  I think Newcastle and Chelsea meeting will be another interesting game to watch Chelsea how good they have become.
This weekend Chelsea faces Newcastle, and they deserves a win. However, Newcastle has proven to be a strong team. In their last meeting in the league cup back in 2010, Newcastle won a seven-goal thriller 4-3 against Chelsea. So, who will come out on top this time? Stats tell a story, but I don't like to rely on that. Things won't be the same as before this time. Chelsea seems to have been steadily improving, while injuries to Newcastle players make the match challenging for them. This time, Chelsea is coming for revenge, so Newcastle should be prepared. I hope Chelsea's players continue to improve their gameplay against Newcastle, which making it an exciting match to watch.

After finishing the ICC Cricket World Cup, India vs Australia is going to face again in T20 series from today. I am eagerly waiting to see how well the Indian cricket team can play against Australia in this T20 match today. It is believed that in this T20 series, the Indian cricket team can give a tough answer to Australia. Australia cricket team also has good skills to fight hard against India. With the preparations of both the teams, it is clear that today's match will be a very exciting one. The first match of this T20 series today Dr.Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium will be held at 7:30 local time.
No time to look back; now, let's move on from the recent ODI World Cup. It's a series that follows a tough loss in the ICC Cricket World Cup. I don't really care much about the series outcome. However, for India, a good start is much needed after losing the ICC Cricket World Cup to Australia. I just hope both teams perform well, even though some key players have rested from both sides. Let's shift our focus to the upcoming T20 series; it's a whole different squad from the main one.

It is true that Girona has performed well this season, but their current existence at the top of the La Liga standings cannot be separated from the inconsistency of Real Madrid and Barcelona, so indirectly Girona has benefited a little because of that.

If you look at Girona's overall performance so far it is quite impressive and they just need to maintain their consistency, in my opinion it is very difficult for a team to maintain its consistency until the end of the season.
And it's not impossible that Girona could make a surprise until the end of this season, I think that would be very interesting if that happened.
Everything will depend on how much depth Rodriguez has in the squad and how ready they are to become a full-fledged support for the main team. Obviously, it will be very difficult to compete with Real and Barcelona in this regard, but I am watching Girona very closely this season, because they have two Ukrainians, Dovbyk and Tsygankov, playing in their lineup. Of course, I would like Girona to be able to resist the giants of the Spanish Championship throughout the entire season, I hope they succeed.
The fact that the other big teams in the Spanish La Liga aren't doing so well as they were expected I think is the main reason Girona should capitalize on their current performances and extend their lead at the top of the table. The beauty of a league is when there's a possibility that it can be won by the unexpected team which has hasn't happened in the La Liga for a very long time. It's been won by either of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid for almost the last 20 years.

Considering their impressive performance in the league  this season, Girona looks like the team that's finally gonna break deadlock and become the first other than the three mentioned clubs to win the Spanish La Liga title even when I think it'll be a very difficult task to achieve. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona currently has major injury concerns which I think will definitely affect the performance of the teams. Girona has shown that they're capable of winning the league but what I don't know is if they can continue with their current form and performance

It is not an exaggeration to say that Girona is the most exciting fairy tale in European football at this time. The inspiration they have brought to Spanish football over the past three months is an extraordinary story. Girona's ability may not allow them to stay at the top of the table for long, but the football they create is worthy of fans to enjoy. The exciting point about Girona is that no player under Michel's guidance can be classified as world-class. They are all people who have not yet achieved and cannot prove their worth. But they created a surprise this season. Everything may be in order when Girona has to clash with Barca, Atletico, and Bilbao shortly. After all, this small team certainly won't be able to compete with Real Madrid or Barcelona.

They are absolutely on fire. As fans, we'd love to see a different season, or at least some intense competition between 3 or 4 clubs. There's nothing more passionate in football than not knowing who's going to win it until the last game. Everything might be in order, and their impressive run could end after their matches against Barca, Atletico, and Bilbao shortly. Girona is like an elephant trying to climb a tree, and we all know it's going to fall down soon. I think they'll run out of steam as their ability might not allow them to keep impressing us for much longer.

I think this is right. Manchester United, if for some lucky reason they qualify for the next round in the Champions League, would be smashed there. I think they wouldn't even remain in the Europa League very long. This team is not in shape for any competition outside the Premier League and even there it seems to not be a good enough level for them to achieve anything meaningful this season.
It seems impossible if Manchester United manages to win the remaining two matches because this match is quite tough. Manchester United seems to be having difficulty facing competitors in Group A. How could it not be that so far Manchester United has only been able to get 3 points and they are at the bottom of the standings, only a miracle can do it bringing this club to qualify for the round of 16, to be in third place to appear in the European league also seems difficult for Manchester United. In my opinion, the opportunity to enter the European league is Copenhagen but if Manchester City is able to perform amazingly to at least get a draw in two matches Later, at least Manchester United will be in third placed.
But looking at Copenhagen performance in the next two match, if Copenhagen is unable to win, Manchester United will occupy that position.
To be honest when it's a must-win game for Man United, you just can't rely on them. In the previous match, being down to 10 men against a team like Copenhagen was never going to end well. It's hard to trust that they'll grab a win in the remaining two matches. Man United seems to be living on past glory at the moment. This team is the most shameful and disgraceful in Man United's history. As of now, every door seems to be closed for Man United. Their defense is poor. United should probably say goodbye to the Champions League.

I don't think Binance will collapse because of this case alone, every people who're interested in crypto are think Binance is the most trusted exchange. Currently there's no yet strong competitor which can change people perspective to think other exchange is better or has a same quality like Binance.

yeah, I read online that Binance rakes in an annual revenue of $12 billion, but I'm not sure about its profit margin. I think they settled on the fine; if it was too big, they probably wouldn't have agreed. They could likely handle it. However, this might affect how many people try to cash in or out. Either way, it only hurts CZ and the folks at Binance. I'm not saying it's cool, but it could be the incentive in play.

Newcastle are really inconsistent these days. It started to reflect on their Champions League games as well recently. Because they lost to Dortmund two times in a row which pushed them down to the fourth position. But I still want to believe that they will recover from this situation as well. Newcastle were pretty impressive last season you know.

This carried them even to the Champions League despite challenging hard against the other top teams in the Premier League. Actually they weren't doing bad until a point this season too. But hopefully they will get better. They have got some bad news additionally like Tonali's suspension but I will expect them to get better in time.
I can understand that, I can understand why they're struggling so much in the Champions League. They are in the toughest group in the Champions League, with teams that are very experienced, while they are arguably a newcomer team, of course it affects their mentality and morale. But on the other hand I also still appreciate them, because they can still compete with 1 win and 1 draw, which ultimately makes them still have a chance to be able to qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season. Yes, although they have to work very hard to be able to realize their chances.
This is the momentum for Newcastle to be able to transform into a team that is respected on the European stage, it is very difficult, especially since they are joining Group F which is inhabited by top teams and even teams that have a strong mentality in the UCL such as Dortmund and AC Milan, but what has been shown by Newcastle so far has been extraordinary, they have really made the competition fiercer and Newcastle even still has a chance of getting through the group phase.

Newcastle's performance this season is still the same as last season, they are still strong and in my opinion they are even much better this season even though at the start of the season they were a little problematic.
They've kicked off the season really well, and landing in the 7th position on the EPL points table is quite impressive at this point. In the UCL stage, their run has been great. Winning the whole thing might be a bit of a stretch, but they're doing really well. I didn't expect them to have such a fantastic run, but they're causing issues for other teams because they're a bit unpredictable. Personally, I admire how Newcastle plays, and they're an amazing side to watch. Right now, it's all about enjoying the ride.

Wow Greece really surpassed expectations by leading France to a tie.
Both teams played well but it's surely a surprise for Greece to not lose to a so far unbeaten France.
Sadly this doesn't mean much for Greece, the country was bound to finish third in the group and therefore be lead to play-offs for a potential qualification.
Who knows, Greece showing some strength now would probably boost confidence in the playoffs. But it's not going to be particularly easy.
At the beginning of the match France where handling Greece with kid gloves, unfortunately for them, Greece came well prepared, because they knew they were coming to play against the WORLD CUP runner up, especially recalling the way Gibraltar were brutalized.
2-2 draw was a fair one for me, because Greece deserves a point for their outstanding performance tonight.
Well, I also feel a draw is a fairly fair result for this match. Because Greece, who hosted this match, really showed their readiness to face France. And if we look at the flashback of the previous meeting between these two teams, we will also be able to see that France, when they were the hosts, also had difficulties when facing Greece. So in the previous meeting, France could only win 1-0 thanks to the penalty kick they got. Without it, the result will definitely be a draw.
France faced against Greece in their last Euro qualifier, following a massive 14-0 victory against Gibraltar, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Greece, serious and determined, interrupted France's 100% record in Euro qualifiers. France narrowly escaped potential embarrassment, as they were denied a flawless record in Euro 2024 qualifying for the first time. Nevertheless, they still qualified, and that's what matters. Signs of the end times, not too bad!

Argentina vs Brazil match was played till the last minute, but Brazil lost against Argentina. Brazil lost 1-0 to world champions Argentina, with both teams attacking well from the start of the game until half-time as both teams battled it out. But after half-time, the attacks were more for both sides, but Argentina set the ball very well, due to which Brazil could not keep the ball in the net. But the Argentina team scored a goal in the 63rd minute of the game to lead the team, then Brazil fell far behind, and at the end of the match, the Brazilian team lost the points. Moreover, one of Brazil's players got red carded for fouling, and then Brazil couldn't make any strong attacks, which may have caused them to lose today's match. Brazil is currently in a bad position in the points table of the World Cup qualifiers, they are in the 7th position with 7 points. Currently, Brazil's position in the points table is very bad today's match could have been a draw, but unfortunately Brazil lost the match and lost points and are in a bad position.

LOL.. once again Argentina's supremacy over Brazil is proven. If the Brazilians are searching for excuses, then they will get dozens. For example, they can claim that Neymar was injured and therefore not available for the match, while for Argentina all of their star players were available including Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández. In the absence of Neymar, the burden fell on the shoulders of Gabriel Jesus, Raphinha, Rodrygo and Gabriel Martinelli. But they were unable to offer resistance against the strong Argentine squad.
Brazilian we know before is not the Brazilian we know now so theirs no excuse that Brazilian team can present as a point of excuse that will be acceptable by anyone, despite that they have squad like Argentina but I was expecting that the match would have be draw instead of the weight of the match weigh higher than Brazilian because of the pressure of Argentina, that's to say that Argentina is stronger than Brazil, even though Neymar was in the pitch Argentina will also win them, I since that lionel Messi do create another impact in their football team to make sure that they selected a fit players to their country team to ensure that they have win their counterpart outside of coach.
Argentina won today's match but Lionel Messi did not contribute much to make Argentina win today's match. Messi was not seen much against Brazil. Argentina team won today without relying on Messi. But you have to accept that several of Brazil's regular XI players were absent today against Argentina due to injuries. However, despite the absence of some players from the original XI, the XI that Brazil fielded against Argentina should definitely have earned at least one point. Although Brazil is slightly behind Argentina as a team, considering their home ground, Brazil was definitely ahead of Argentina, but Brazil could not take that home advantage. Against Argentina, Brazil committed the highest number of fouls as well as received the highest number of yellow cards, yet Argentina played at their best to secure victory against Brazil.
Not just Messi, but Argentina as a whole didn't do much throughout the entire game. Argentina's goal seemed to come out of nowhere. However, Brazil can only blame themselves. This is their first-ever home FIFA World Cup qualifier. Brazil didn't look like scoring much; instead, they busy making fouls. The game wasn't flowing smoothly, with too many whistles. and there's no excuse just because they have key players injured Brazil couldn't break through Argentina. Lo Celso, De Paul, Enzo, and Mac Allister deserve credit for this game, and the defense acted like a strong wall. In my opinion, this Brazil isn't as mighty as it used to be. Their performance and quality have significantly dropped. After all the trouble, it's evident that the Brazilians have lost touch with the old days of good football.

Ronaldo's impact was so big but we must also try to remember how much money spent by saudi clubs to get him. Al nassr has paid him with lots of money. His salary has ever broken the new record as the highest paid player in the world.
That's very sad to see how messi rejected an offer from saudi pro league caused by he can surpass the salary received by ronaldo. Im thinking about they will be trying to sign more great players in upcoming months.
I have expected all of them to get more. Several names have been linked to the saudi pro league like modric or even partey but no confirmation so far but modric seems interested to join in the saudi pro league.
Im waiting for him to go to the saudi pro league as soon as possible. Having Modric in SPL is good.

Luka Modric rejected a lucrative contract from Saudi Arabia that was worth Ł120 million a season because he felt that he still could play in one of Europe's biggest clubs. He signed a one-year contract extension with Real Madrid because he thought that he would still get more play and contribute to the success of the club. But his prediction was wrong because Jude Bellingham is now the focal point of the club's midfield and attack. It seems now that the Croatian international will only get the opportunity to play when the English young star is not available.
For now, there is no information about him leaving in January because Real's general director Jose Angel Sanchez said that the club has not had any current interaction with any club in the Saudi Pro League regarding Modric's transfer. So basically he might end the current season with Madrid and his future will be determined after his expires. For now, the midfield maestro will be focusing on winning maybe his last trophies in the European league. However, bringing Modric to the Saudi League will be a plus because he would bring a lot of experience to the League.
There's buzz that Luka Modric might head to Saudi Arabia once his contract with Real Madrid wraps up next season. The change in scenarios is due to his lack of playing time. Although he's currently contemplating staying in Europe, the idea of him moving to Saudi Arabia is quite possible. Madrid is heading towards younger players, and it's time for him to pass the torch. With Jude Bellingham rising in Madrid, Modric's game time at the Spanish club has become pretty limited. There's a significant demand for Modric to make the move to Saudi Arabia, especially considering he's achieved everything in Europe. It's hoped that Luka is ready to take on the challenge in Saudi Arabia in 2024.

In yesterday's match, India's top batsmen's contribution was very poor, especially in the early stages, India were under so much pressure that KL Rahul was forced to play a Test-like innings. India's innings was set a target of 240 for now based on KL Rahul's slow batting. Although the target of 241 runs was not a very tough target for Australia but due to poor performance of Indian fielding in Australia's innings and several missed catches, India lost the match yesterday heartbreakingly.
Yes 4 batsmen batted very badly, if they could have batted well they could have given enough runs target. I think if Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill both batted well, India would have been able to target many runs, because if they had done well in the beginning, India would not have been under so much pressure. With Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer in great form, they were expected to put up a good run but they failed in the end. Against Netherlands and New Zealand, Suryakumar Yadav was allowed to bat towards the end of the innings, due to which he could not score many runs. But in the final match Suryakumar Yadav got a chance to bat with many overs left, but he could not bat well. Ravindra Jadeja bats unexpectedly. Besides, Rahul, Kohli, Rohit would have been able to give a target of many runs if one of them scored a century. India's squad had top order and middle order batting strong in batting but lower order batsmen are very weak in batting.
I think the way India batted was really bad compared to other matches. Especially if a few batsmen could have performed well, they could have scored more runs, but it was not in India's luck. But I think that if India had given the target of more runs, the Australian team could have met that target. Because the Australian batsmen came to the field with the intention of beating India by any means, and they fulfilled that objective and became the champion by defeating India by a huge margin. The way six-time world champions Australia played the final match against India was really interesting to watch. Where the Indian team was undefeated for the entire ten matches, it is truly worth seeing that the Indian team defeated Australia in the final match and won the champion trophy. However, every player in the Indian team was disappointed yesterday, both batting and bowling were bad which led to their loss, but many people were happy to see India lose.
Yes ,you are right. Indian team performed very bad. In my opinion,if target would be 300+ then it would be very difficult for Australia. In Final match, 300 score is big score to chase. But India can't make handsome score to defend. When Australian 3 wickets fell ,it seemed India will caught Australia  batsmans under 200 score but Travis Head and Labuschagne played very well and they made a good partnership and they snatched the match from Indian players.India is best team but Australia also proved that they are king not in only home ground but in also Indian ground,Ahmadabad. Mohammed Shami didn't performed well in Final match.
I think even if India had scored 300+ runs it would not have been too difficult for Australia to win the match. Because they went on the field without the preparation that Australia will win the 2023 World Cup, where the Australian captain said they have the experience of how to play the World Cup. Although 300 plus runs would have been difficult for Australia to win but India could not make it, it was their misfortune that no player could perform well. The batsmen of the Indian team could not sustain any pair to the end for which they could have accumulated the score very high. However, despite the early wickets of the Australian team, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne took over the game, and the batting performances they saw definitely proved that they are the kings of the cricket world. Mohammad Shami I think has done well enough for his individual side but the Australian batsmen made it very difficult for India.
India definitely fell short on the runs in the World Cup, and they have only themselves to blame for not winning on their home turf with the talented lineup they've got. Honestly, their bowling attack is something else. With Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj, no team can easily score 300. In a World Cup Final, chasing 300-plus runs would have been a tough ask for Australia. If things had played out differently, the scenarios could have been better and favored India.

The Ukraine-Italy match was a very critical match and Ukraine could not get 3 points from this match. Although Italy was effective throughout the match, the match ended 0-0. Ukraine will now try to qualify from the Playoffs, but their efforts certainly deserve praise. I think this score is very good in this group.

It's not going to be easy to qualify through the playoffs. And also, they will be facing very tough teams during the playoff round. But I agree with your take on Ukraine. Despite all the negatives related to war and politics, they put up a very strong showing during the qualifiers. Also, don't forget the fact that they had missed qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup by a whisker (by losing to Wales in the last playoff match). I agree that they deserve a spot in the Euro Cup of 2024. But they need to win the next 2-3 playoff matches in order to achieve that.
Ukraine had to grab a win against Italy to lock in their spot for EURO 2024. But, after the draw, Italy snagged automatic qualification, leaving Ukraine with more matches to go through. Honestly, I feel like Ukraine deserves a spot in the Euros next year. They're not an easy team to face. Even though they finished third, they still have a chance to qualify through the playoff round.

I've been with Bittrex since 2018. It's just a bit of nostalgia.

Let's be honest here. Was anyone really using it? Their service was pretty bad – super high fees and customer service that was basically non-existent. So, it's not surprising they made this tough decision. Times has changed, and we've got alternatives now. To stay in the game, you've got to offer quality service without charging crazy fees. That's just how it is.

Poor batting from..

Shubman Gill 4 runs
Shreyas Iyer 4 runs
Ravindra jadeja 9 runs
SKY 18 runs

Australia won the World Cup. That’s shocking news because when the World Cup was started Australia's performance was very poor, even though we thought that maybe Australia couldn’t qualify for the World Cup but a miracle occurred and they picked the victory from India and took away to Australia. Travis Head was the man of the match in the final and he also hit 100-plus runs in the final of the test championship against India.
Travis Head is made for India and also only in the final. Travis Head played very well, he deserved it. That’s a massive final. Let’s hope for more finals like that.

Australia lost the first two matches of the World Cup. The team's semi-final qualification was uncertain after heavy defeats against India and South Africa. Even then we saw them put up a tough fight against Afghanistan. Even after losing 7 wickets for only 91 runs, Australia won with a target of 292 runs. An incredible and monstrous innings was played by Maxwell, who was assisted by Pat Cummins. A loss in this match would have made it difficult for Australia to qualify for the semi-finals.

Pat Cummins is the main hero behind Australia's World Cup win. He is an excellent captain. At the same time, Starc and Zampa have bowled well in this World Cup. Travis Head's brilliant innings of 137 in the final match made India easy to beat.
Australia beat India in Ahmedabad, securing their sixth men's ODI World Cup! India was convincingly beaten by a superior side on that particular day. Australians seem to have a knack for playing the perfect game when it matters. The Aussies really outplayed India on their home turf when it counted, and that's how they clinched their sixth World Cup title.

It was a bit of a toss-up, a two-horse race, and the Aussies brought their A-game, ultimately winning. Luckily, Travis Head stepped up, and they emerged victorious. Head really stood out in it all. I'm pleased Australia won, and they truly deserved it.
